That is one nice looking truck. What is the HP and torque conversion for 290 kilowatts of power and 520 Newton metres of torque?

SPEED Channel has had a lot of Aussis races lately. Those guys bang around like Winston Cup guys but on raod courses. Falcons and GM's Holdens are the two big entrants.

Ya if you go to the Ford Australia site they have some pretty bad@$$ albeit. wierd cars. That would be sweet if they would head up SVT or atleast colaborate with the guys (jack@$$es) over here. Was reading up on that Pursuit. They really go all out making items very vehicle specific. I'll never look at an Aussie the same again...never knew they liked v8's much less cars
